South of Martinborough: Two Soldier Settlements and their Neighbours tells the absorbing story of the First and Second World War settlements at Tuturumuri and Tora, and neighbouring properties, and the challenges facing the South Wairarapa district’s pioneering farmers and fishers, as well as developments over the years since.
Largely a book about people and working in a remote area, the story is told in their own words through diaries, memoirs and interviews from the 19th century to today, bringing them and their times to life. It is the fascinating story of a microcosm of New Zealand society.
